Pycna Semiclara
''Pycna semiclara'', known as the Whining Forest Cicada, is a South African forest-dwelling platypleurine cicada. One of the largest cicadas in South Africa, this species reaches 40–50 mm in length. Its wings display green, brown and translucent patches, and are covered with silvery hairs. It is endemic to South Africa, and occurs in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces. It prefers indigenous forests, where undergrowth is sparse and trees are more than 4m tall, but may also be found in stands of ''Quercus robur'', ''Populus deltoides'', pine and eucalyptus. It is also unusually found in dense riverine bushes in KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape. Males usually call from a position a few meters above the ground on a shady limb of a tree, with a good view of the immediate surroundings and potential predators. Males often sing in chorus to attract mates, particularly at dusk and dawn, enabled to do this by an endothermic In thermochemistry, an e ...

Platypleura Sylvia
''Platypleura sylvia'' is a species of cicada endemic to South Africa. It was first described and named by William Lucas Distant in 1899 in the ''Annals and Magazine of Natural History''. ''Insecta transvaaliensia'' was self-published by Distant and appeared in twelve parts over the period 1900-1911. The series was an account of Distant's insect-collecting trips through the Transvaal. The collected parts were published as a single volume after Distant's death by Francis Edwards of London in 1924. Specimens of this species were collected in 1906 and then not found again in the field until 2001 "''when small, localised populations were discovered during a faunal survey for the Environmental Management Programme Report for the Anglo Platinum ''Der Brochen Platinum'' project in the Groot Dwars River valley, Mpumalanga.''" ''Platypleura sylvia''As a result a behavioural study was carried out in the Groot Dwars River valley in 2001 and 2002, during which researchers found that the adult ...

Cicada
The cicadas () are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera (true bugs). They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers. The superfamily is divided into two families, the Tettigarctidae, with two species in Australia, and the Cicadidae, with more than 3,000 species described from around the world; many species remain undescribed. Cicadas have prominent eyes set wide apart, short antennae, and membranous front wings. They have an exceptionally loud song, produced in most species by the rapid buckling and unbuckling of drumlike tymbals. The earliest known fossil Cicadomorpha appeared in the Upper Permian period; extant species occur all around the world in temperate to tropical climates. They typically live in trees, feeding on watery sap from xylem tissue, and laying their eggs in a slit in the bark. Most cicadas are cryptic. The vast majority of species are active during the day as adults, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cicadinae
The Cicadinae are a subfamily of cicadas, containing the translucent cicadas. They are robust cicadas and many have gaudy colors, but they generally lack the butterfly-like opaque wing markings found in many species of the related Tibiceninae. Systematics This large subfamily is here divided into tribes. Other schemes exist, which usually have a coarser subdivision. Some, however, merge the Tibiceninae here whole or partly. The genera given below were substantially revised 2010 through 2018 due to additional morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis. The following tribes belong to the subfamily Cicadinae: # Arenopsaltriini Moulds, 2018 # Burbungini Moulds, 2005 # Cicadatrini Distant, 1905 # Cicadini Latreille, 1802 # Cicadmalleuini Boulard & Puissant, 2013 # Cosmopsaltriini Kato, 1932 # Cryptotympanini Handlirsch, 1925 # Cyclochilini Distant, 1904 # Distantadini Orian, 1963 # Dundubiini Atkinson, 1886 # Durangonini Moulds & Marshall, 2018 # Fidicinini Distant ...

Taxa Named By Charles Jean-Baptiste Amyot
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the intro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
